Hey hey! I just found this site today...it's cool!! I am going as Chichiri this year. I'm working on the staff right now and it is not fun. Any experienced staff-makers have any tips for me? :D

Depends on where you're assigned to do.

Don't loose your mind?

Got a picture of what you want it to look like? It's just a normal priest's staff with metal rings, right?

PVC pipe. Acrylic finish, spray paint. Acrylic finish is to seal the paint so it doesn't get sticky even after it's dry. use a primer first. balsa wood for the top part of the staff. use acrylic coating on that toos o that when you smack it down the ilttle rings jingle like a real staff. :)

btw... NICE DARK LADY WIG!!!

How tough is acrylic finish and would it stick to any sort of spray paint?

I actually made the long part out of a 6 foot long dowel...I stained and varnished it and it looks really good. I have been painting layers and layers of acryllic paint on the top part to smooth out the lumps. It's just taking a while. The only thing I need to do now is the mask, and I will be done. If you guys want to see pics of the wig I styled (it's really cool...I'm good with wigs if you can't tell :D) then send me a message on AIM...my SN is azrael3122.
